Homework Help Overview

The problem involves evaluating a double integral by changing the order of integration. The integral is defined over a specific range and includes a function that combines polynomial and square root expressions.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Mathematical reasoning, Assumption checking

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • The original poster attempts to change the order of integration and evaluates the inner integral, leading to a new expression that involves integration by parts. Some participants question the necessity of using integration by parts and suggest considering the derivative of a related expression instead.

Discussion Status

The discussion is ongoing, with participants exploring different approaches to the problem. Some guidance has been offered regarding differentiation techniques, and there is an acknowledgment of potential overcomplication in the original poster's approach.

Contextual Notes

There is a focus on the use of integration by parts and the application of the chain rule in differentiation, indicating a need to clarify the underlying assumptions about the functions involved.

Homework Statement


Change the order of integration and evaluate the following double integral:

[tex]I = {\int_0^{1} \left({\int\limits_{y}^{1}<br /> 30 y\sqrt{1+x^3} \mathrm{d}x }\right) {\mathrm{d}y}[/tex]


So thenn i did

[tex]= 30 \int_0^{1} \sqrt{1+x^3} \left({\int_0^{x} y \mathrm{d}y}\right) \mathrm{d}x[/tex]

[tex]= 30 \int_0^{1} \sqrt{1+x^3} \left(\frac{x^2}{2} \right) \mathrm{d}x \end{align}[/tex]

using integration by parts...

for [tex]\sqrt{1+x^3}[/tex]
[tex]let u = \sqrt{1+x^3} \qquad du= \frac{1}{2} \left(\sqrt{1+x^3}\right) 3x^2 = \frac{3x^2}{2\sqrt{1+x^3}} \qquad dv = dx \qquad v = x[/tex]

Thus!

[tex]= x \sqrt{1+x^3} - \int \frac{3x^3}{2\sqrt{1+x^3}} \mathrm{d}x[/tex]


after that... i have no clue what to do. a lil help? thanks! :smile:
am i on the right track though?

Why use IBP at all? What is [itex]\frac{d}{dx}(1+x^3)^{3/2}[/itex]?:wink:
 


don't we need to worry bout what's inside the bracket? when differentiating? :rolleyes:
 


Of course, use the chain rule.
 


OHHHHHHHHH!
ahh dear.. i sure do love to make things complicated.. :smile:

Thanks heaps! and there i was looking at tht question for hrs...:blushing:
